Post 7 interesting things about yourself

__________________________________________________________________

and last but not least:

Here, the rules are as follows:

1 Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award

2 Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and ‘present’ them with their award.

Right: 7 things about myself, it´s up to you to decide if they are interesting or boring 😉

1. I was born left-handed but forced to switch in school. I have no recollection of being “forced” to use the right hand, I do remember constant reminders from my mum when I was in my teens to use my right hand – I kept going back to the “bad one”

2. All three of my sons are left-handed – and allowed to use their left hand, too – it just goes to show you can not beat nature 🙂

3. I have a phoebe of daddy longlegs
I just hate them, no apparent reason, I just do, they make me feel sick just thinking about them.

4. I probably have ADD, not that I’ve been diagnosed because there was no such thing when I was a kid. But the symptoms fit.

5. have you seen the film. Sleeping with the enemy. Julia Roberts has a thing for neatness in this film, you know, cups all facing the same way .. I would, if I could but my sons spoil all attempts. The reason being is if I do not keep everything tidy, I’ll completely lose it and everything turns chaotic and messy (note: I don’t mean dirty!)

6. I prefer speaking and writing in English rather than German, my mother tongue.

7. I’d rather give birth than go to the dentist ( but obviously I can’t do the first anymore while I reluctantly do the latter once a year). Arrgh, I wrote this last night and this morning, I had to make an appointment with the dentist because my front tooth has a “cut” type thing (if you get the drift).

Anyhow, drumroll please, here are my nominees, in no particular order, for

Wow, this is more difficult than I thought, I´d just like to point out that there really is no particular order to these blogs, nor does it really make a different as to which Award they are nominated for, I think all three awards are lovely and brilliant in their own rights.

Right, that´s it, I must admit that was a job and a half but also very enjoyable going through all your blogs again. All that remains for me to do now is to notify each and every single one of you of your nomination and to figure out how to include these award pictures into my blog somehow.

Wow how lovely! And random!
As I’m sure you can tell I’ve disappeared for quite some time and decided to get back online and take a second stab at this, only to find that you’ve nominated me for an award! Very pleasant surprise and definitey encouragement for me to get back to blogging again! Congrats on your award and thank you for the nomination 🙂 cheers!
